I'm pretty sure this would be an upstream issue. Maybe related to the fact that there is no need to update the clock every second when second display is off. Could you check if showing seconds makes it go i sync again ? Your guess was correct - the clock applet was only updating status once a minute if displaying seconds was disabled. Based on this I was able to track down the bug and (hopefully) fix it. I opened an upstream bug on this issue, with the patch attached: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/604317 (In reply to comment #2) > Your guess was correct - the clock applet was only updating status once a > minute if displaying seconds was disabled.

All info seems to be provided and I am not allowed to do so (also, maybe with the change upstream puts an eye on the patch ;-)) Thanks I cannot reproduce original problem on neither 2.32 and 2.30, please retry on a new created user account (In reply to comment #4) > I cannot reproduce original problem on neither 2.32 and 2.30, please retry on a > new created user account > You can see the effect if you run both gnome-panel and date with environment variable TZ set to "right/<your region>/<your location>", as opposed to the normal "<your region>/<your location>" timezone. The "right" timezone takes leap seconds into account, but isn't POSIX, as discussed in the Gnome bugzilla report. Because of the latter statement it's up to gnome-panel developers whether they consider this a bug or not. OK, thanks for the explanation, I misunderstood the problem (sorry) Do other gnome team members agree with including this downstream? Will wait for upstream opinion before committing this (Vuntz will probably have more time once Gnome3 is released) |
